Need a little ‘cue before your flight or the Earthquakes game?

Pitmaster Paul Reddick, owner of the Smoking Pig BBQ in San Jose and Fremont, says construction has started on his third Pig, on Coleman Avenue in San Jose.

He’s taking over the final spot in the Coleman Landings strip (that’s the Starbucks row) just across the street from Avaya Stadium, the home of San Jose professional soccer, and down Coleman from Mineta San Jose International Airport.

Unlike the Fremont location, which serves up live blues along with brisket and ribs, this location will focus on food only, with an emphasis on takeout, Reddick says.
